When Canadian traffic engineer Paul Roer called for the removal of many stop signs and other pedestrian protections on grounds that they gave walkers “a false sense of security,” thereby encouraging confident walking and delaying drivers, traffic engineer Morris Rotman objected.
Dr @janploeger shows how chain mobility (bike-train-bike) spared Dutch cities: “Nobody in the Netherlands wanted cities with empty hearts. Cyclists benefited from our 1958 spatial policy that has kept cities compact and encouraged housing near stations.” myscience.org/news/wire/why_…
If you plan for human flourishing, you’ll see induced demand in a new way.
In the US in 1898, 68,000 miles of passenger lines (3x the length of Amtrak’s entire current network) carried bicycles as baggage on a first-class ticket without additional charge. In 1897 the Long Island Railroad alone carried about 150,000 bikes along with their owners.
West Palm Beach, Florida, September 13, 1965. Ruth Chamberlin protects children walking near Palmetto Road Elementary School.
Montreal, August 20, 1966. Dorys Bernbaum: “Must we wait for deaths?” We have forgotten that for decades, people struggled to protect children’s right to the safe use of their own local streets.
Des Moines, Iowa, May 3, 1988. After failed efforts to get official action, Pauline Green, at 16th and Clark streets, protects children walking to King Elementary School.
Montreal, 1954: Before parents drove their children to school, they spent decades defending children’s right to the safe use of their own local streets. Almost 20 years before the Van Horne Avenue traffic protests of 1973, volunteers were protecting children at the same site.

We are still told today that X, Y & Z safety measure is not desirable as it may give us (pedestrians) a "false sense of security" - I received this response recently.
When Canadian traffic engineer Paul Roer called for the removal of many stop signs and other pedestrian protections on grounds that they gave walkers “a false sense of security,” thereby encouraging confident walking and delaying drivers, traffic engineer Morris Rotman objected.

Who bikes to the airport? Actually, a lot of people. Instead of imagining people hauling suitcases on their bikes (not that we don't applaud the effort), consider how many people work there. Speak up to prioritize bike access: susmo.org/nvta-syip-fy20…) Deadline is this Sunday.
We like bikes and Not Just Bikes. Broadly speaking, we're a movement dedicated to working across differences.
